Ghost Track in Dodge Commercial
Historic Speedways and Ghost Tracks
Hello, all. I am the new member that Jeff mentioned who joined after searching for the Dodge Durango Commercial. Here is a little of my story and why I was searching that...
I grew up in Byron, Georgia, where the Middle Georgia Raceway is located. At one point, my family even lived in a mobile home park located right next to the raceway. We spent a lot of race nights at that track! In fact, when my dad asked me what I wanted to do for my 12th birthday, I told him, "Go to the races!" It was only a few months later that my dad was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver. I didn't know it until recently, but that was the same year that the raceway was shut down. So many drivers raced there, I especially remember the Allisons.
I searched for info on the Dodge Durango commercial when my brother, who moved back to Byron last year from Florida sent me a link to the commercial on YouTube. I was confused about the "Brixton" name used in the commercial, so I did an internet search to see if my brother was wrong or if they changed the name for the commercial, which was the case.
This commercial brought back some wonderful memories of my family at that racetrack. My brothers and I would even sometimes ride our bikes around the track when no one was around.
I've looked around the site here, and there are a lot of wonderful stories, photos, and memories. Nice to meet you all!
